Wissahickon Hermits One day, June 1694, there arrived in Germantown a group of men who constituted an interesting and picturesque accession. They were the band of Pietists best know as "the hermits of Wissahickon". On their arrival they spent 2 months in Germantown and then located on the heights bording Wissahickon Creek, on the upper side of the stream, northeast of Ridege road. Though the site was beyond the line of Germantown Township, in the adjoining township of Roxborough, these German mystics maintained close relationship with the settlers of Germantown. Immediatley after their arrival one of the leaders of the mystics, Henrich Bernhard Koster, began holding services in Germantown, in the home of Jacob Issac van Bebber, on the west side of the main street, at Market Square. Though akin to the Quakers and the Mennonites in some of their beliefs and enthusiansm, the Pietists nominally adhered to the Lutheran faith, it being their desire to infuse new vitality into a religion which they believed to fundamentally correct but in danger of becoming atrophied through stress upon intellectual beief and dogmatic formula. It has been related how Pastorius fell under the influnce of Pietists in Frankfort-on-the- Main, from which circle came most of those who formed the Frankfort Company. For a time Koster had service in Germantown three times a week, besides weekly service in Phila. As Koster never renounced his Lutheran Faith, it is assumed that these services were those of the Lutheran church, and as Koster preached both in German and English, the inference is justified that they were the first Lutheran services held in America in the English language. The house of Jacob Isaac van Bebber, where Koster held his service, was the place where the first Mennonite worship had also been held some years earlier. There is a suggestion that van Bebber, though originally a Mennotie, did not maintain strict allegiance to that faith and hence welcomed Koster to his home. Koster's meeting in Germantown attracted English speaking residents of Phila. to whom the Friends' meetings in that city did not appeal and who did not understand the language used in the Swedish Lutheran Church, below the city. So large was the proportion of attendants from the city that finally Koster was led to hold all his service from Phila. Following the Keithan schism among the Quakers numberous adherents of Keith attached themselves to Koster's congregation. Out of this movement finally grew a congregation of the Church of England-Christ Church, on 2nd Street, Phila. Koster did not follow his brethren of the mystical community in their extremes of faith and practice. Finally there was a disagreement which culminated in Koster;s leaving the community, whereupon Johannes Kelpius a native of Transylvania and a youthful extremist in Pietistic ideas,, became the leader of the group. Koster sought to found another community in Plymouth township, now Montgomery County, a dozen miles northwest of the 1st colony on the Wissahickon. He adopted the name of True Love Church of Phila or Brotherly Love, and built a house which he named Irenia. But not more than 4 or 5 followers joined him, and the venture was soon abandoned, Koster going to VA in 1699, and to London the following year. He later life was spent in Germany, where he lived to be 98. Settlememt of Germantown-Mennonites These were the people who, some as Mennonites, and others, p;erhaps as recently converted Quakers, after being unresistingly driven up and down the Rhine for a century and a haf, were ready to come to the wilds of America. Of the six original purchasers Jacob Telner and Jacob Isaacs van Bebber are known to have been members of the Mennonite Church; Govert Remke, Jan 14, 1686, sold his land to Dirck Sipman, and had little to do with the emigration; Sipman selected as his attorney here at various times Herman Op den Graeff, Henrick Sellen, and Van Bebber, all of whom where Mennonites; and Jan Streypers was represented also by Sellen, was a cousin to the Op den Graeff, and was the uncle of Hermannaus and Arnold Kuster, two of the most active of the early PA., members of the sect.

Morning Geri, and Custard-interested people everywhere! Let's see if I'm awake enough to make sense here; we west-coasters start the day late especially on a Sat. following day-light savings time change! In my pedigree Rebecca Custer b. about 1734 in possibly Hanover Twp. Montgomery Co., PA, m. John Holder(II) b. 1725 Mahanatawny Twp., Berks Co., PA. Let me know if I have faulty info. or you have anything to add. Anyway, Rebecca (Custer) Holder's ancestors starting with her dad: George Custer, Arnold Custer, Paulus Custer, Arret (Arnold) Custer, Johannes Custer, Reyniert Custer. Re: Paulus, he did marry a Gertrude but later researchers ruled out Streypers (from faulty research) in favor of Dohrs. In any case, at the marriage to her, his line converted from Catholicism to Reformed. I quote my notes on Paulus Custer, which include conflicting info. Thanks to Geri for continuing contributions. w. Wendy's notes, Paulus Custer: "The Custers came to America from Krefeld, Germany on ship Welcome, to Germantown, Pennsylvania. [!!] >From "The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine" Volume XXXI 1980 Number 3 in an article titled "The Ancestry of the Thirteen Krefeld Emigrants of 1683" by Wilhelm Niepoth, translated by John Brockie Lukens page 505: Paulus Kuster b betw 1640 and 1646, Kaldenkirchen, records of the Catholic church in Kaldenkirchen missing for that period. Raised Roman Catholic. d February 1707 old date 1708 new date. He and his wife prob both buried Germantown Mennonite Cemetery. m Gertrude Doors 10/16/1668 in Reformed Church at Kaldenkirchen. They had seven known children; possibly more. They went to Germantown sometime after bp of Catrin in 1687, and May 1691, taking three sons, Arnold, Johannes and Hermanus. The fate of Matthys and Reiner is not known, left behind or died previously. Anna and Catrin not mentioned in America at all, either, they may have died in Germany, etc. Johannes and Paul naturalized 5/7/1691 in Philadelphia. Paul was a stonemason and bricklayer, people in Philadelphia were beginning to build houses from stone. Paulus and Gertrude had belonged to the Reformed Church in Kalden- kirchen, prob to avoid persecution as Mennonites, but prob had instilled Mennonite Quaker values in their children. Gertrude prob had not forgotten what her parents went through. When they arrived in Germantown, they became Mennonites. They must have been among the earliest Mennonites there, maybe the second Mennonite family. They lived in Germantown. On list of taxables in 1693. However, Jean White in "The descendants of Paulus and Gertrude Kusters, Castor Society, 1991, has Paulus and Gertrude were sponsors of their twin graddaughters baptism on 10 Dec 1696 and so could not have come to PA before then. In 1700, a committeeman. His son Arnold refused to be a committeeman because of "conscientious scruples". Jan Lensen, the lst Mennonite, also sought to be excused on the grounds "his concience would not allow it" bec it involved taking an oath. Some of their descendants married members of other early Mennonite families. (Kuster) The baptismal record of Reiner in the Reformed church at Kaldenkirchen contains the interesting note that his mother "for a period of time was unable to use her mental faculties" and "Theiss and Agnes Doors [grandparents] promised to assume responsibility for the child in her behalf". She clearly had an episode of very serious mental illness. Gertrude was the granddaughter of Mennonite bishop Herman Op den Graef [See Opden Graeff page (Custer)]. Susan Schlack, researcher: There is "no known record of the date of Paulus and Gertrude KUSTER's departure from Germany or their arrival in America, but immigration probably occured around 1700. Paulus and Gertrude were sponsors at the baptism of their twin grand-daughters, Gertrude and Agnes, 10 December 1696 in Kreyfield, Germany." "The Descendants of Paulus and Gertrude Kusters" "...Other records say they arrived in Philadelphia on 6 October 1683 on the ship 'Concord' with their three sons, Arnold, Johannes and Hermanus." [!!] "Paulus Custer was...reared as a Roman Catholic. Across the street from the Catholic Church is the Refomed Church where Paulus married Gertrude DOORS on 16 October 1668, and where Gertrude was baptized as an infant; as were their seven children." "While it is not clear whether the KUSTERS were among the Kreyfield founders of Germantown, they were in Germantown on 2 December 1700 when Paulus was chosen as a Committeeman of the Germantown Corporation. At that time, they were among the 12 families identified as Germantown Mennonites." "Paulus and his wife were among those who died in the 'epidemic of 1707/8.' Paulus wrote his will on 28 January 1707/8 and died soon after. Witnesses to his will, filed in Philadelphia on 23 February 1707/8 were Hermanus KUSTERS, Arnolt CUSTER, Johannes KOSTER, Dennes CUNDERS and Cornelis DESEES."

Hello Listers, I'm new to the list and would be grateful for leads in answering some of my questions about a cluster of ROOF or RUFF families in Upper and Lower Saucon Twp. between 1790 and 1850. The heads of household were Bastian, Valentine, George, and in 1820 John. First, I have two will references which we given to me: Northampton Co. Will Index, Rufe, Sebastion- Upper Saucon Twp., Will # 2041 Lehigh County Will Index, Ruff, Jacob-Upper Saucon Twp, Will #1489. Does anyone know the address I should write to in order to obtain either copies of these wills or a summary of people mentioned in them? Can anyone tell me about Upper and Lower Saucon Twp? Where does the name come from? Why would one be listed in Lehigh County? Why does Lower Saucon seem further north than Upper Saucon on the map I have? In 1850 John Ruff appears in Monroe County, Polk Twp., and in 1851 he sponsored a child in baptism at Salem Church, Monroe County. Would these locations imply a move, or would they imply a change of name for the same area when Monroe County came out of Northampton? Of course if anyone is researching or is connected to the ROOF family, in any of its many variant spellings, I would be grateful for the chance to compare information. Thanks very much, Dee Cameron in El Paso, TX dcameron@elp.rr.com

We've corresponded before. Can you tell me the origin of the name "Burton" for Sarah Anna Lynn? This is a new one on me and my records say the name of her previous husband - and the father of your ancestor Emma - was "Brittan." In the 1860 census for Harmony, NJ, she's recorded three households away from where Joseph Drake Metz is as Brittan, Sarah 27 Servant Born in PA " , Emma 5 " NJ Thanks, Marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: <deblack@juno.com> To: <PANORTHA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 10:02 AM Subject: [PANORTHA-L] Isaac Lynn (Linn) > I am looking for Isaac Lynn (Linn) & Anna > possible parents of Sarah Anna Lynn (Linn) born 1831 Northampton/Lehigh > County PA > Sarah Anna Lynn Burton Metz died Harmony Warren County NJ 20 Mar 1901 > > any connections? > > Thank you. > DeAnne > > ________________________________________________________________ > Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today > Only $9.95 per month! > Visit www.juno.com >

LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING FAMILY: WILLIAM CARR BORN 1739 IN PENNSYLVANIA WIFE ELIZABETH LAST NAME UNKNOWN BORN IN PENNSYLVANIA THREE SONS BORN IN PENNSYLVANIA ALSO JOHN 02/11/1783 THOMAS 1785 NATHANIEL 1788 ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU MARILYN PS IS THERE A TOWN IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY BY THE NAME OF ALLEN. I HAVE A RECORD OF A WILLIAM CARR AND JOSEPH CARR OWNING SOME LAND THAT BORDERS 150 ACRES THAT BELONG TO PETER WITHINGTON IN 1765. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILAR.

Just to let everyone know who asked about the German marriage lookups. The book is indexed by surname as the heading and then all the given names that are covered in the book. I am going through it and answering everyone. I have not forgot you! When I think I have everyone answered I will email again and if I have forgotten you or didn't get your email or inadvertently deleted your request, please email me again. Also if you have further questions please feel free to email me again. It helps to "reply to" my answer to you so my email is attached and helps me remember what I was looking up for you. I don't mind doing any of this. Genealogy is my hobby and helping others sometimes helps me. The book is called Pennsylvania German Marriages, Marriages and Marriage Evidence in Pennsylvania German Churches compiled by Donna R. Irish 1982. Library of Congress catalog number 81-84187. It has a huge index and most of the requests I have received for surnames include long lists of given names indexed to different pages of church listings from the earliest year of 1710 to the latest of 1895 so it could take some time to get back to the general surname requests. The book is 812 pages long including the index. I hope this helps to answer some questions. Pam
